STUDIO TALK
Red Light: Standard, stop sign outside stage door to indicate that the camera is turning inside. Bell: Inside stage warning that the camera is about to turn. No one whispers or takes a step after the red light is on and the bell has rung. Hit ’em All: Illuminate the set, or turn on all the lights.
A Lily: A perfect take, hence a complimentary term sometimes used kiddingly.
Key Light: Powerful light which emphasizes the star’s most attractive facial planes. Sometimes the second lead is murdered by this key light.
Gaffer: Chief electrician.
Best Boy: Assistant to electrician. Juicers: Electricians manning lights. Grip: Motion picture version of the stage hand.
Dolly Shot : Picture made while camera is moving on a dolly, or rolling platform. Boom Shot: Picture made while camera is on a platform at the end of a crane.
Bee Hive: Cover over mike to filter out wind during outdoor shooting.
Wild Wall: Wall that can be moved at a moment’s notice.
Wild Track: Speaking several different versions of a portion of dialogue into the mike although the camera is not turning. The best of these versions is used in the completed film. Example: “What am I doing?” “What am / doing?” “What am I doing?”
Loop: Supplying a line of dialogue such as the above, because something went wrong with the sound although the camera take was a lily.
Elevators: Cork soles from one to five inches in height, made with an instep webbing so that they can be worn with customary shoes. Short girls wear them when playing love scenes with very tall men and modestly proportioned men wear them when dancing with tall girls.
Flit Gun : Device for squirting an oil mixture on the faces of players who are “perspiring” in a desert sequence.
Oater: A Western picture, also called “west-run.” Cliff-hanger: Suspense drama. Whodunit: Murder mystery.
Sofa Special: Drawing-room comedy.
